A Pawn of the Devil's Deals

A Pawn of the Devil’s Deals

He kills, he gives life, he injures, he heals;
there are none who escape from his hands.
Surrender to him, learn from him, obey him.

The foolish traitor, a pawn of the devil’s deals.
To carry out his sinister and evil master plans, 
he kills, he gives life, he injures, he heals.

It is only unto him that the defeated kneels,
but it is never the victorious that he withstands.
Surrender to him, learn from him, obey him.

The evidence of his murders is what he conceals,
but the darkness of his sins is what he expands.
He kills, he gives life, he injures, he heals.

It is only his twisted desires that he appeals,
but it is never the righteous that he commands.
Surrender to him, learn from him, obey him.

The tranquility of his victims he invariably steals,
but it is never their morality that he understands.
He kills, he gives life, he injures, he heals.
Surrender to him, learn from him, obey him.
